The Steam Yachts.

II is not often that yacht visits our
inland waters. and still more rare TO see
two of the prettiest steam yachts ailoai
lvina at the wharyes They are the Mag
nolia belonging to Mr. Fairman Rogers,
of Philadelphia Just back from a cruise
10 the West Indies, and the Clean, the
property of Mr. f Harrison Garrett, of
Baltimore, each having the owners
aboard. Both yachts are handsome crafts,
but the CLEAN probably has attracted the
most attention She has two masiie
schooner-rgged and is 100 feet long over
all. and IL feet beam. Her draught is Il
feet She is equipped with two com
pound engines, which can drive her al "a
speed of eighteen miles am hour Safety
is provided for by two life boats, and the
Yacht is built in alright compartments
The cabin. which has accommodations
for twenty-five persons, is luNurlOusly
fitted up. and throughout the vessel ey-
cry Arrangement is provided that can Sc
cure the comfort and safety OF passen-
gers and crew.
The Clean is commanded by Captain
Frank TOrrev, most efficient officer as
are her others-chicf engineer, y. b. Low
ell and assistant engineer Earnest \.
Jones. The crew of eight is composed
of fne-looking men, dressed in man-of-
war STYLE. with the word Clean on
their caps. \ visit to them yesterday
showed tha' both yachts were in perfect
order. and men were still rubbing decks
that il seemed could not be cleaner and
polishing brass that already glittered
brightly. The yachts seem so slender
and graceful that a landsman would
think them unfit for an ocean voyage, but
both have made long cruises and battled
successfully with heavy gales. The CLEAN
will leave to-day.

The New Christian Association Hall l. Mr.
Moody Coming?


The following is taken from the AsS0cf-
ation Record for April.
This last question is asked on all sides,
as the time for the dedication of our new
building draws near We can only say
in reply that the officers of the Associa
ton are sparing no pains to accomplish
this object. The General Secretary Will
shortly leave for Chicago, where Mr..
Moody is laboring, and will present the
strongest possible inducements to secure
his presence.
1t is hoped that these efforts may be
successful but whether Mr.. Moody comes
or not. one fact remains-the building
must be dedicated free from debt Think
what it would mean for the Association
to 90 into a building, from which no rev
enne will be received, with mountain
of debt resting on its shoulders. 1t would
mean nothing less than the gripping OF
our work for years TO come. AS one OF
the Building Committee put il day or
two ago, Our whole scheme is a failure
unless we pay of the debit Let every
member OF the Association rise in his
might and say, 1t must, ii shall be done.
